Using AA Miles to Upgrade on Other OW Airlines
Just starting to look for tickets to travel to Rome via either JFK or PHL. It appears OneWorld affiliate Air Berlin has the cheapest flights. Given some of my party has AA miles and others don't, we were going to look to pay for tickets and possibly use miles to upgrade to business class. From the AA site, it mentions upgrades for BA and Iberia flights. However, is it possible to use miles to upgrade with other OW airlines?

Also, important to remember that IF upgrades are available on partner airlines such as BA or Iberia, only full fare tickets are eligible, so the discounted tickets that are the cheapest are not eligible.
